Friends and Colleagues,

October was a busy month for PMI.  While you were attending our Chapter Meeting a number of our Chapter officers and I attended the PMI Component Leadership Meeting, the PMI Awards Ceremony and the PMI Global Congress in Anaheim, California.  At this Leadership meeting we continued our education in chapter leadership and governance, as well as learning about new PMI programs, policies, and initiatives.  This intense 3-day workshop also covered the relationships that exist between PMI, our Chapter leadership, and you, our members.

The PMI Global Congress 2004 – North America opened on Saturday evening, October 23, with the PMI Awards Ceremony.  More than 700 people attended the event to see PMI Chairman, Kenneth O. Hartley, PMP and PMI Fellow, and Vice Chairman, Louis J. Mercken, MBA, PMP, present the awards.  The PMI Awards recognize the year’s most remarkable projects, components, and individuals.  Notably, among those receiving awards were Walter O. Bowman, PMP and J Davidson Frame, Ph.D., PMP, who became PMI Fellows, the most prestigious award bestowed upon an individual.  Others received PMI Distinguished Contribution Awards for their achievements in advancing the project management profession.  The Southern Nevada, South Florida, and Montreal Chapters, and the ISSIG, won Component of the Year Awards.  The Project of the Year Award was won by Saudi Aramco, for their Haradah Gas Plant Project.  The highlight of the evening for the PMI Mass Bay Chapter was winning the PMI Community Advancement Award for work supporting the YMCA of the North Shore on their Pool and Gymnastics Center Project.

Are you having trouble juggling too many projects? Does it seem that just when you think you have it under control, a new project is added and the other projects start to develop problems? Regardless of the size of your project organization, attending this presentation can show you how to use the techniques of project portfolio management to create a flexible environment that accommodates rapid change without sacrificing strategic results.
